[Intro] (x2)

Em G Em G D

[Chorus 1]

Em G

Don't damn me when I speak a piece of mind

Em G D

'Cause silence isn't golden when I'm holding it inside

'Cause I've been where I have been

And I've seen what I have seen

Em G D Em

I put the pen to the paper 'cause it's all a part of me

[Verse 1]

Em G D

Be it a song or a casual conversation

Em G D

To hold my tongue speaks of quiet reservations

Em G D

Your words, once heard, they can place you in a faction

Em G D

My words may disturb, but at least there's a reaction

[Instrumental]

Em D Em G D Em D Em G D

[Bridge]

Sometimes I wanna kill

G D

Sometimes I wanna die

Sometimes I wanna destroy

G D

Sometimes I wanna cry

Sometimes I could get even

G D

Sometimes I could give up

Sometimes I could give

G D

Sometimes I never give a fuck

[Pre-Chorus]

It's only for a while

G C

I hope you understand

I never wanted this to happen

Didn't want to be a man

So I hid inside my world

G C

I took what I could find

I cried when I was lonely

I fell down when I was blind

[Chorus 1]

Em G

Don't damn me when I speak a piece of mind

Em G D

'Cause silence isn't golden when I'm holding it inside

'Cause I've been where I have been

D G

And I've seen what I have seen

Em G D Em

I put the pen to the paper 'cause it's all a part of me

[Verse 2]

Em G D

How can I ever satisfy you?

Em G D

And how can I ever make you see that

Em G D

Deep inside, we're all somebody

Em G D

And it don't matter who you wanna be?

[Pre-Chorus]

But now I gotta smile

I hope you comprehend

For, this man can say it happened

'Cause this child has been condemned

G C

So I stepped into your world

G C

I kicked you in the mind

D B

And I'm the only witness to the nature of my crime

[Chorus 2]

But look at what we've done

D G

To the innocent and young

Whoa, listen to who's talking

G D

'Cause we're not the only ones

The trash collected by the eyes

D G

And dumped into the brain

Said, it tears into our conscious thoughts

G D

You tell me, who's to blame?

[Bridge]

C G D

I know you don't wanna hear me cryin'

C G D

And I know you don't wanna hear me deny

C G D

That your satisfaction lies in your illusion

C G D

But your delusions are yours, and not mine

C G D

We take for granted we know the whole story

C G

We judge a book by its cover and read what we want

D Em D Em G D Em D Em G D

Between selected lines

[Chorus 3]

Em G

Don't hail me and don't idolize the ink

Or I've failed in my intentions

G D

Can you find the missing link?

Em G

Your only validation is living your own life

Em G D

Vicarious existence is a fucking waste of time

[Verse 3]

Em G D

So I send this song to the offended

Em G D

I said what I meant and I've never pretended

Em G D

As so many others do, intending just to please

If I damned your point of view

G D

Could you turn the other cheek?

[Chorus 1]

Em G

Don't damn me when I speak a piece of mind

Em G D

'Cause silence isn't golden when I'm holding it inside

'Cause I've been where I have been

And I've seen what I have seen

Em G D Em

I put the pen to the paper 'cause it's all a part of me

Em G Em G

Don't damn me ,I said, don't damn me

Em G

I said, don't hail me ,Don't damn me
